WILMINGTON | Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry Inc., or WARM, has been awarded $150,000 from N.C. Housing Finance Agency to make urgent home repairs for elderly or disabled people, single-parent families, and other vulnerable homeowners in New Hanover and Pender counties.

WARM volunteers do home repairs and accessibility upgrades such as wheelchair ramps to qualifying households at no charge. Although WARM takes applications year round for its traditional services, applications for the 2013 cycle of URP are due in the office by July 31. Qualifying households will be New Hanover or Pender, be owner-occupied, fall below 50 percent of median income and have a special need, such as a large or single-parent family or a disabled or elderly resident. The work needed must address a threat to life, safety, or health of the residents. To apply for assistance or to volunteer, call WARM at 399-7563.
